Description
Explore the Fifth Dimension Kyrie Irving’s newest signature basketball sneaker, the Nike Kyrie 5, has been hyper-engineered to support his aggressive “Ankletaker” style of play – the sickest moves coming from any angle, dizzying rolls, and bursts of power that leave defenders watching helplessly. All-new, Nike Air Zoom Turbo articulated cushioning technology is incorporated into the curved shape of the flexible outsole to provide superb control in extreme, lateral moves. His Unmistakable Personal Touch Kyrie’s colorful personality is reflected in fashion-savvy design elements of this high-performance mid-top shoe, with inspiration drawn from his tattoos and life story. The outsole’s traction pattern is based on the “evil eye” of the Hamsa Hand tattoo on his left arm and the Venus flytrap influenced the unconventional look of the midfoot containment system. The “eye” also appears at the back of the heel counter, while the tongue sports a molded Kyrie logo. Nike Kyrie 5 features: Engineered mesh upper offers flexible support and breathability. Flytrap-inspired overlay and flywire cables provide secure midfoot lockdown. ½-bootie design ensures a snug, precise fit. Padded collar supports and protects Achilles tendon. Reinforced toe provides abrasion resistance. Air Zoom Turbo cushioning with welded channels delivers superb energy return. Curved rubber outsole wraps up the sides for excellent lateral control and traction.
